Transcript

The House of Squib presents Academy of Law. Every week, Squib brings you Hollywood's finest. The great picture plays, the great actors and actresses, techniques and skills chosen from the honor roll of those who have won or been nominated for, the famous golden Oscar of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science.

And now, ER Squib and Sons, manufacturing chemists to the medical profession since 1858. Bring you one of Hollywood's best known stars, Eddie Bracken, in it happened tomorrow. The picture which was nominated for a 1944 Academy Award.

With Mr. Bracken you will also hear Miss Anne Blithe, who as best supporting actress of the year was nominated for the 1945 Academy Award. This is the story of something that couldn't happen but did.

And it happened around the turn of a century to a nice guy who was young and gay. His name was Larry and he was a newspaper reporter. As a matter of fact, you can tell from the old prince that Larry looked an awful lot like Eddie Bracken acted like him too, as you'll find out.

Nobody believes my story and I don't care if they don't. All I know is it happened to me. It happened tomorrow and I'm still alive to tell about it. It began one night when we were horsing around on the city grom of the newspaper where I worked.

Come on, careful Larry, you're not a full-fledged reporter yet. And if the boss catches you drinking beer with the boys, his life has changed his mind about giving you a break. Oh, forget it, Pop.

I'm not going to sleep right now, right on top of these old newspapers of yours. You're lying right in the middle of 1843. Oh, good place to sleep, Pop. On a better, vangent news. Be careful.
